Two nurse faculty members who were previously nontraditional students discuss a concrete strategy for the nurse who is returning to school. Tips and suggestions on how to deal with the educational system, how to be a student again, and how to balance work, home, and school are included.
To maintain the present cadre of nurse educators the paradoxes that put them at risk must be addressed. Three major paradoxical issues are explored: the persistent focus on the vocational model as vehicle for the development of the professional nurse, hindrances to anticipatory and incumbency socialization, and tenure and promotion requirements. Greater socialization and better educational academic preparation will increase the success and satisfaction of nursing faculty.
